EU chief calls for a bloc-wide push on an age verification app to protect children online. If enforced, users will have to prove their age to access legally restricted sites.

      You show your ID only to the central authority, which is your government. Who gave that ID to you in the first place.

      They then issue you a ticket that says “we verify this dude is 18”, and you give that to the website.

        So this will exclude everyone without a (NFC capable?) phone from accessing social media or adult sites?? Absolutely insane.

          At the core it’s just a website, if you are able to get online to require an age check, you’ll be able to access the system to generate the tickets - aka, electronically signed certificates.

          the app works on any device – phone, tablet, computer, you name it. -https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/da/statement_26_817

          [EDIT] Oh, and the phone app should AFAIK, work offline, kinda in the same way a 2FA code app does.

            I guarantee you this will not work on Linux because they also want this to be an identity verification app.

        You don’t give it to a website, read the article ffs, you download an app and that is what will “verify” your age, they did a trial run during their Covid experiment and now comes version 2.0, which will most likely have a backdoor for surveillance.
